And so, the two wait, blissfully ignorant of all of the negative attention they seem to be gaining. Though a glare from Kana humbles the siblings, their gazes lowering to the desk. Kiyomi stops her bouncing, and Kazumi tugs at a few strands of their hair. ❝Scary, scaaaary!❞ say the two of them together, though very much under their breath and to each other.
It isn't long before the two at the front desk receive a visitor in the form of a child—no, not a child, but a very small ghoul. The scent is delectable, and for a moment, the two siblings have to fight over their urges to lose themselves internally. Some higher power muuuuust be testing us for sending such an adooooorably delicious ghoul to us. Before Kiyomi gets the chance to speak up, Kazumi raises their hand, beckoning the 'child' forward.
❝Absolutely, little dove! Are your parents around?❞ They step out from behind the counter and bend toward Esme, as Kazumi seems to tower over Esme in an almost comical display. ❝That is a lovely dress you have on! Where did you get such a dress?❞ They reach out for the empty drink to be discarded, a wide, close-lipped grin on their features. Kiyomi claps her hands together, circling once around the 'child.' She looks absolutely ecstatic, as Esme appears to her as an adorable young girl, and girls of all ages happen to be Kiyomi's favorite thing.
❝Uwaah, did you really lose your parents?❞ Kiyomi's question comes out of left field, as Esme left no indication of this, but it's expected of the slightly dim-witted younger sibling. ❝You can stay with us until you see them again! Kazu-nee's right—you have a really cute dress. I used to wear dresses juuuust like that when I was your age. How old are you?❞
As the two siblings bombard the supposed child with questions, plans unfold along around them. No matter what becomes of this ghoul-child, the two will have their fun, just as everyone else will have theirs, as well. Whether they've been enlightened of Esme's true nature or not would be ambiguous, but one thing the siblings do know for sure—this one smells an awful lot like those CCG bastards.
